To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known-that 1, CHARLES MARSHALL HAYNES, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at the city of Newark, in the State of New J ersey,have invented a new and useful lmlprovement in Fabric-Piercers, commonlyca ed Embroidery-Stilettos, off which the following is a specification.

The accompanying drawing represents my In said drawing, A represents around blade which is usual in such instruments, tapering to a point atone end, andhaving a ta .at the opplosite end upon which isgakttac edthe han e C, or this end of the blade itself formed into a handle.

The letter B, marks the movable 'ga eiece which slideslongitudinallyupon t e lade. A so that its outer end b may be brought toany desired position upon the taper-portion of the blade. The set-screw,I), carried by the gage-piece. operates to bind 1t to the blade invarious posit ons relative to the taper-end of the blade. lit will beaparent that the A comprises a shank ving a cone pointed fabricpenetrating portion and as will hereinafter appear there 1s associatedwith this cone pointed fabric penetratinguportion means of a suitablenature for re ating or aging the size of hole by said fabric enetratingortion. While a cone pointe periphera yor superficiall smoothpenetrating ortion is uite desirab e and advanta eous m that a 0 canround hole can be pro need there may be instances where I may prefer touse a enetratingportion of some other shape. he said gage-piece, B, ismade of a strip of metal bent as shown in the accompanying drawi andhaving three holes in o 'tudinal an central alinement thro h which theblade A- passes, and'having t e set-screw b"' for the purpose ofreleasably binding it to the blade. V

I have described one simple wa of making olding the same in its variousadjusted ositions. There may be other ways of making said gage-piece andother means than that described may be provided for holdi said age pieceman adjusted position. twill:

e observed thatsaid' age pieceis of approxlmately S-form' an -"in thebendsof t S the three holes or perforations to which i have alluded areformed. Two of these holes or perforations-receivethe shank of the bladewhile the other receives the conepointed forward end-of said blade. thisit will be obvious that the body of the age piece is slidable on theshank of the lade while the active portion of said gage piece directlycoo crates with the cone pointed end of the lade. 3 device is used forpiercing holes in fabric and the like, for making eyelet embroide' Thegage makes it possible to pierce holes all of uniform sizewhich addsmaterially to the artistic beauty of hand embroidery. The gage may beset atany desired point upon the taper portion of the blade and form astop sothat the piercings trating portion to regulate the size of a holeto be made thereby.
